The protein encoded by this gene is one of more than a dozen subunits forming eukaryotic RNA polymerase III (RNA Pol III), which transcribes 5S ribosomal RNA and tRNA genes. This protein has been shown to bind both TFIIIB90 and TBP, two subunits of RNA polymerase III transcription initiation factor IIIB (TFIIIB). Unlike most of the other RNA Pol III subunits, the encoded protein is unique to this polymerase. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2013],

Function:
Function:DNA-dependent RNA polymerase catalyzes the transcription of DNA into RNA using the four ribonucleoside triphosphates as substrates. Specific peripheric component of RNA polymerase III which synthesizes small RNAs, such as 5S rRNA and tRNAs. May direct RNA Pol III binding to the TFIIIB-DNA complex.,similarity:Belongs to the eukaryotic RPC34/RPC39 RNA polymerase subunit family.,subunit:Component of the RNA polymerase III (Pol III) complex consisting of 17 subunits. RPC3/POLR3C, RPC6/POLR3F and RPC7/POLR3G form a Pol III subcomplex (By similarity). Interacts with TBP and TFIIIB90 and GTF3C4.,
